Food & Nutrition Research Tools
Deeper, data-driven tools for the questions behind the cooking — how to read a food label correctly, and what your kitchen waste really costs each year.
About these research tools
Two tools that turn everyday food decisions into clear numbers.
The RecipeTool research collection goes a step beyond quick calculators. Each tool tackles a question that shapes how much you spend, how you eat, and how much food ends up in the trash. The nutrition label decoder translates a confusing nutrition facts panel into personalized daily values and easy-to-read traffic-light ratings, so you can compare two products fairly even when their serving sizes differ. The food waste calculator puts a real dollar figure on the groceries your household never eats and shows exactly where that money leaks — then hands you the storage know-how to plug it.
Everything here runs entirely in your browser. There is no signup, nothing is uploaded, and the tools are free to use as often as you like. When you are ready to put the numbers to work, jump to the recipe nutrition calculator to see the calories and macros in your own meals.
